Biography and Personality

Molly is the youngest of nine children. She was born in Madison, Indiana and lived there until she attended college after her senior year in high school. She is a talented achiever and excels in academics, athletics, and music. At the universities she attended, she received A’s, even in the most challenging of classes.

She excelled at running and while in high school she placed in the top eleven in cross country and the top seven in track three years in a row at the state level. During her senior year, she competed in an All-State competition where she placed fifth in the mile run. Molly was known to talk to the participants from many of the other teams during state meets and would congratulate them at the finish line making herself known in the running community throughout Indiana.

Additionally, Molly is also a talented singer and would often sing the National Anthem at the high school athletic games and had since engaged in singing karaoke in her spare time.

She is loved by those that know her in the small town where she grew up and was known to stop to visit many community members at their homes and businesses to chat about life. She enjoyed talking on the phone with friends and family members on a regular basis .

Molly is Endangered

Molly is gregarious and friendly and often goes out of her way to help people demonstrating her compassion and unconditional love for others. Molly is very non judgmental of people and sometimes chooses to talk to those she perceives as disadvantaged desiring to help them in their life not realizing that they may pose a danger to her.

Molly has a trusting nature from being raised in a small town and has never lived in a city as large as Indianapolis before. Molly's activities the day she disappeared point to the conclusion that she did not leave of her own free will and we are extremely concerned for her safety.





(MADISON, Ind., November 30th, 2004) -- Molly Dattilo, an Eastern Kentucky University student with ties to Louisville, disappeared last summer. Her friends and family have always suspected foul play, and police now agree she was most likely abducted.

The investigation into the disappearance of Molly Dattilo, who vanished without a trace from outside her Indianapolis apartment on July 6, 2004, now centers in Morgan County, Indiana, a rural community about an hour south of Indianapolis. Police have asked local residents to look for evidence, including "anything suspicious, such as clothes or shoes, especially in rural cornfield areas."

Dattilo's family has always suspected their loved one is the victim of foul play. Now, after months of waiting and worrying, a new investigator -- Morgan County Sheriff's Detective Sergeant Volitta Fritsche -- has given them hope that they'll learn Molly's fate. "I was thrilled to hear that it was being taken seriously and that she felt foul play had occurred, so yes, that was a triumph in my eyes," said Molly's sister, Kendra Skidmore.

Tom Dattilo, Molly's cousin, who is also a criminal attorney in Madison, Indiana, has conducted his own investigation into Molly's disappearance. "If Morgan County's involved and it's a small town investigator, we hope she does a good job," he said. "We believe she has an interest and if they have interest, maybe they can do a real good job."

Dattilo said alerting farmers may help find key evidence, including Molly's remains. "Possibly Molly is there," Dattilo said, asking that farmers "be aware that when they're doing their plowing, etc., they check for the possibility of finding her." The family wants locals to look for a shallow grave, he said.

Molly was on her way to fill out a job application at a fast food restaurant on the day she disappeared. Her family has scoured the nation looking for her ever since. Now it may come down to a few feet of freshly plowed ground. The family hopes that closure comes as soon as Christmas, so that Molly can finally be brought back home, one way or another. "If she's gone, we want to find her," Dattilo said.
